Comments from the Artist

One of my absolute favorite Spock expressions — second to “May I Be of Assistance?” Spock smiling so secretly and such a rare occurrence. The Kirk face is delicately detailed—long eyelashes! [1]

Fan Comments

Shelley has done it again—another absolutely beautiful Beyond Dreams cover, with Kirk and Spock captured so perfectly. I am in awe of her ability to consistently draw such true to life pictures of Kirk and Spock. Kirk and Spock do look lost in thought in this picture—we know who they are thinking of! I always like Shelley’s flowers in her pictures, and thought the placement of the flowers on this cover was especially effective. And I loved the stars behind Spock’s head." [2]

"Shelley is probably the most talented artist I know of—at least in K/S fandom. Her art is always beautiful, and this cover is no exception. I love the way she manages to incorporate flowers and stars to make her images seem less barren. It doesn't take much for Shelley to make an art piece stand out, but she manages to make them beautiful with those extra little touches. [3]
